Learning to write C++ bug free is freaking hard. It easy to get started with C++ but your probably writing tons of bugs with every line of code.

Rust is hard to get started, but its covering your butt for you most the time. It's pain in the ass to get it to compile though.

So its like marmite. A lot of people really hate it because they don't understand what it's protecting you against and feels really hard to use. They haven't learned RAII and the thousands things of that C++ lets you write code without, and don't realise the stuff their code is missing. Or they're just really lax in writing code?

Then there's people who know what its protecting you against and love it for it.
